David M. Lee 946eb5ede0 Example of how to use the Stasis message bus
In order to get people familiar with the Stasis message bus, it would
be useful to have something of a tutorial. Since I'm not clever enough
to think of some cool integration we could do with Twitter, I settled
for something that might actually be useful.

This patch adds a res_statsd.so module, which implements a basic
statsd[1] client. Statsd is a very simple statistics gathering server,
which can publish its results to a backend graphing engine, like
Graphite[2]. There are several different Statsd server
implementations[3], so you can pick what works best for your
environment.

The actual example of how to use the Stasis message bus is in
res_chan_stats.so. This module demonstrates how to use subscriptions
and the message router by monitoring messages and posting channels
stats to the statsd server.

A wiki page walking through res_chan_stats.so is forthcoming.
